What do you think of the name Sinead?

[misdee]

Still strugglin with girls names.

One that wasnt immediantly dismissed and is now the first girls name we have actually considered serious, was Sinead.

We have a Nicole, Lauren and Serena. Someone on another thread pointed out that all have E and N in them. and they work well together. Does Sinead fit in there?

princess mel, dont worry, i wont kill you for saying that.

Almost....

If you want to be picky constantly explaining you could really go to town and go for the fáda. (accent)

So technically, it should be Sinéad.

But I think it is a fab name and should be more widely used.

i have no idea how to do that on a pc lgj, so can i be excused

Yes, we get a nuchal scan and 20 week scan standard.

More if your nuchal comes back high risk or you develop anaemia, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.

Imogen goes well with your other names and has the E and N thing going on. Sinead is pretty though.

Without a doubt.

oh thats good expat. as found out recently that not everywhere in scotland gets a 20 week scan.

has the sickness subsided at all? have had a better couple of weeks, but still plaugued by dreadful headaches.

the trust where i had my first didn't offer 20 weeks scans.

i'm not throwing up so much now. just the heartburn again.

like i said, i'm about 90% certain it's another girl.

i'm about 80% certain its another girl for me as well.

I've been secretly already calling her Muireann.

i've been calling it tad lol. (baby will be an it untill i know the sex) lol.

well done all the bumpy ladies!

Sineád is lovely, also Siobhán, Maireád =Margaret /Pearl.
Muireann is lovely also. Aileen / Eileen = Helen / light.
Aisling = dream.

Sionnán is lovely also (pronounced Shun-nawn)

Aoibheann = fair /lovely is pronounced Eve-een.

Aidan = fire is lovely for a boy also.

this is quite a nice site for celtic names!

I worked with a student called Aoibheann.

I had to ask an Irish colleague how to pronounce it .

I have a Scots Gaelic 'Helen' and a Gaelic 'Rose' (after DH's beloved nana from Cork).

DH had boring boys names. His is pretty boring. But he was all, 'I dunno. Erm, Ian. James. Scott. Stuart.'

Yawn. I had to be more proactive!

expat - how is it pronounced? Yvonne?

We say 'Ay (rhymes with Day) -veen', but we spell it Aoibhin. It means 'beautiful sheen'. Lots of variants though.

I love Sinead. My BF in school was Sinead. We called her Shin. And Hairy. And Dotty...
